Google bought the property from Glendale-based Forum Real Estate Group that used the entity Pearl Place Phase I Vertical LLC, which recently was merged with Pearl Place Associates LLC, to make the transaction.

The campus, called Pearl Place, is being built on a 4.3-acre site near the southwest corner of 30th and Pearl streets. The project will allow Google to expand from 300 employees in Boulder to as many as 1,500 over the next decade.
